There is is nothing more fun than creating a mural with friends and art lovers. That is one thing we are doing at Ganesha's Place. The most accessible creative undertaking can be to just pick up a brush and paint with others. Our elephant mural is underway.... representing diversity and the removal of all obstacles, the meaning of GANESH, the elephant. We will be painting elephants Monday nights at Ganesha's Place in downtown Savannah. Open studio costs $15, from 6pm-7:30pm. Corner of Barnard St. and 40th St./entrance on 40th.

At www.ganeshasplace.com, you can come paint for an hour in a fun, communal, creative environment and be gently guided to "just keep painting." I am a group art faciltator, and will provide short exercises to encourage "process painting" in a safe, supportive environment. Starts after the Five Rhythms Dance on Saturday, October 6th: find it on Ganesha's Place Calendar at the above website. Bring a smock. Start to feel the creative juices flow again. For adults who seek a safe, supportive creative outlet with encouragement to "just keep painting."

So many creative people live here in Savannah and Tybee and environs. The coast is a natural place to be expressive. And fall, or course, is a great time to finally settle down and find some new workshops to take..... hence, I am advocating a new movement and creativity center in downtown Savannah. It's called Ganeshas Place. Ganesha is the elephant that signifies removal of all obstacles. The website is ganeshasplace.com.
